I just don't see the point in doing this, and I thougth we had all
agreed on SHOULD. However at this point the entire issue is getting
slightly silly and turning into a waste of all of our time as there are
more important issues.
I just hope that tutorials will still urge people to pass null even for
methods that don't need it.
